Brisbane Acupuncturist & Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Kathryn Puffett | Acupuncturist & Chinese Medicine Practitioner BHSc (Acupuncture)
Hello dear one, I am Kathryn…
I use she/her pronouns.
I am an AHPRA registered Acupuncturist & Chinese Medicine Practitioner.
Whilst everyone is welcome, my clinical focus is on three areas:
Gut health & digestion: improving gut microbiome and digestive ease, supporting symptoms of coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, IBD, IBS, constipation, reflux, diarrhea, bloating, nausea, & vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Mental health: helping you destress and find relief from expressions of fluctuating mood, anxiety and depression and thrive with ADHD.
Hormone health: supporting you from puberty through to perimenopause and easing symptoms of PCOS, endometriosis, pelvic pain, irregular periods, amenorrhea and more, as well as supporting you through pregnancy and toward labour preparation.
Within the rich tapestry of Chinese Medicine, I am particularly focused on self-cultivation and health preservation. I aim to guide you to discover vitality and ease in this life.
I help people feel at home in their bodies and this world.
I aim to share my clinical knowledge, ensuring that potent messages are accessible to everyone; this means cutting through wellness propaganda to deliver evidence-based health solutions.
My background has contributed to shaping me into the Acupuncturist I am today:
First and foremost, I am a lifelong explorer of the body, the human experience, our natural world, and the vast expanse of consciousness.
My journey, fueled by an enduring spark of existential curiosity, has drawn me to the practices and traditions of the East. I began with Yoga and evolved into a focus on Qigong and Meditation. These disciplines hold tremendous potential for cultivating health and reconnecting us with nature. I'm qualified to guide others in yoga, qigong, and meditation practices.
Life experiences have instilled in me a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of all things. I view individual health and healing as inseparable from the broader well-being of all humans and the natural, non-human world.
This interconnected perspective, rooted in traditional knowledge systems, complements the evidence-based learning I continue to engage with.
From my Paddington clinic, I support the Inner Brisbane communities of Paddington, Auchenflower, Milton, Bardon, Kelvin Grove, Rosalie, Ashgrove, Petrie Terrace, Red Hill, Windsor, and Toowong.
